Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) is the medical use of live maggots (fly larvae) for cleaning non-healing wounds.In maggot debridement therapy (also known as maggot therapy, larva therapy, larval therapy, biodebridement or biosurgery), disinfected fly larvae are applied to the wound within special dressings. Medical grade maggots have three primary actions: they clean the wound by removing dead and infected tissue ("debridement"), they disinfect the wound (kill bacteria), and they speed the rate of healing.
MDT can be used for the treatment of pressure ulcers, burns, venous stasis ulcers, osteomyelitis, diabetic foot ulcers, MRSA infected wounds, debridement of infected surgical wounds and even chronic, non healing ulcers.
